IRanOutOfIdeas Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I wouldn't mind a reunion. I'd think that a one-off would be more appropriate though. Axl should have stop being such a whiny bitch and did that with the HOF induction.But at the same time, a lot of people raise the fact that he's in no shape to do an actual reunion. He's a hack now.

Bobbo Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 What does it really matter anymore? If Axl's not gonna fix his faults, he might as well just call it a day. So yeah, at this point, I much rather him just retire.That being said, id still rather have a reunion instead of what we "have" today. And it's borderline maddening how anyone could prefer Axl milking nostalgia with a bunch of faceless, third rate, musicians instead of doing it with his actual co-creators. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabrph5 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Fuck the old "band"I don't get the humor? You just trolling? No way would any gnr fans sayand mean that.

liers Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) I don't want a reunion of Axl and Slash. I would be fine with a reuinion of Axl, Izzy, Duff, and Matt or Steven with Bumble and or Fortus, or a reunion of the 2002 lineup, but not Axl and Slash.Here's why. Axl has so much hate for Slash, even if they did a reuinion outside of a show or two, I think tension would still be there and it would just blow up again like it did when Slash originally left, leaving Axl forced to once again put together a new lineup and hide from the public for years.I think the ideal way to do a Axl/Slash reuinion would be to just do one show on a tv broadcast, and that's that.

Mastodonny Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 They should tour as the GNR Family. The old guys for the old songs and new guys for the new songs. It's a win/win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a win/win.Slash's ego couldn't handle sharing the spotlight with another lead guitarist. Axl's ego couldn't handle the reaction to the new guys & CD material compared to the old band.

IncitingChaos Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I'd love a reunion but only with the right place and time. I wouldn't want a 6 month advertisement for the reunion and all the other junk, I'd just like to be watching the Super Bowl and halftime to come around and hear the intro to Welcome to the Jungle then when the lights come on you have Axl, Slash, Duff, Steven, and Izzy. After that they can do a big tour. It's all just a dream though haha I can see how a reunion wouldn't be cool. It's like Slash said on Howard Stern, it would be cool for 5 minutes then nobody would care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 A reunion would be cool, but I'm not fussed about it. It'd obviously just be a cashgrab, which you guys all seem to be against the idea of.I mean, I'd be ecstatic if they reunited and went on to release an album, especially if it wasn't Rubin-produced "back to the roots" Nobody puts baby in a corner, but that's less likely than being struck by lightning thrice while in the midst of winning the lottery jackpot.

DR DOOM Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I used to fully support "newgnr" but when Robin left for the last time I consider it dead in the water, especially since Axl got DJ Ashba to replace him...he may as well put a giant cock and balls in the logo if he has Ashba in GNR.So classic era reunion all the way baby, preferably with Adler behind the kit.

I'm a guitarist and love guitar music, but there's a reason bands normally have only one primary lead guitarist.You gonna tell me EVH is a loser and he should hire fucking BBF and DJ and Ron to shred shitty meaningless notes all over his playing? Yeah, I forgot, here on this forum, BBF is the world's most famous and legendary and influential guitarist. God damn, where' the jerk-off icon... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Nova Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I'm sure a reunion will happen eventually....after the South America tour ends, Axl will probably take a few years off and realize that he could make more money touring with the original lineup for ONE year than he has made touring for CD over the past 6 years.

It's not about money, is it? Axl is making money with his current band. He's already a millionaire. He's supposedly happy with his life at this moment.Why would he need or want more money if reuniting with real Guns means he's no longer the ultimate boss? Do you think Slash and/or Duff will put up with Axl's lateness again? Not possible.Like I said, a reunion would happen under the right circumstances for all of them and since that's not possible - it will never happen.

PITBOSS Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I think it would be awesome if when axl finally retires there's a huge band jam with everyone that's ever been in the band. That would be insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
